Apparently @fybush was unaware that there is indeed a process for calling 800 numbers from our neighbors to the south when he wrote:
I found a website which explains how they can be dialed from there, but it's pretty convoluted:

K-Love is expanding internationally, starting with Italy and Zambia. They are obviously set up to accept donations outside of the US. If K-Love was allowed to purchase stations in Mexico, I'm sure they would. For now, they have to stick with US border radio.

K-Love could probably operate commercially in Mexico as long as it was not deemed to be run by religious ministers. ESNE had a very high-profile trip-up when they tried to buy a Mexico City commercial AM outright and the application was tossed. In Mexico, private non-commercial radio stations cannot be sold or transferred. But Christian radio in Mexico is quite stunted compared to other Latin American countries, because of the longstanding ban on ownership by religious associations and religious ministers. Most of the stations involved are local in scope, with only the small Radio María network, a multi-city group of social stations loosely affiliated with an evangelical organization (which operate independently), and a group of stations associated with each other in Chiapas having any larger ambitions. They would also have to have advertising breaks to air government and electoral spots.
thats why im told they got 95.1 KTTI because, for whatever reason, they couldnt get a mexican licenseK-Love is expanding internationally, starting with Italy and Zambia.

San Luis on the Mexico side has a pop count of approximately 177,000, some estimates have it as high as 200,000.
The Yuma MSA pop count is approximately 203,000.
If you add in the population of other areas of Mexico within the KTTI signal range, that's bigger population than the entire Yuma MSA.
For K-Love to buy KTTI, makes a lot of sense.

I, for one, would love to see their reaction to that requirement. I doubt that CRT (Comisión de Regulación de Telecomunicaciones) gives out waivers like they are used to the FCC routinely doing.
The Comisión Reguladora de Telecomunicaciones doesn't regulate spot load. That falls to two other agencies, the Dirección General de Radio, Televisión y Cinematografía (which is the broadcast content regulator among other things, though you rarely hear from them in that capacity) and the Instituto Nacional Electoral, which manages electoral spot load. (The INE is the biggest compliance headache of them all, because they have national monitoring infrastructure and no qualms about issuing fines.)
But "getting a Mexican license" would have been hard for other reasons. The border areas are generally saturated, and the only new stations that could be authorized in some major cities would fall into the community, indigenous, or Afromexican buckets. (Mexico has a 10% reservation for these services, and there are not many stations of this type on the border.)
Barring buying a station, you'd have to ask for a city to have a commercial frequency included in the annual document that reserves new frequency allocations by use, the PABF. And then they have to auction it.
There is a noncom Mexican radio station owner named Fundación Educacional de Medios, A.C. There's actually the most tenuous hop-hop-hop of connections to EMF, in that the wife of one of the principals held an Air 1 translator license in Abilene as well as a translator for a station at the time owned by someone with binational broadcasting connections (KGDL Trent TX).
KCYK announced today updating things a bit with a much heavier mix of 80s and 90s and a few early 200s.... updannig classic country basically. This is where most standard classic country stations are.. centered on the 80s and 90s today, with a few "older sounding" early 2000s
And no this isnt an April fools joke.
I knew abut this several days ago and it makes sense
KCYK and KLJZ are both entirely locally owned and programmed (well outside of bob n sherri and kid kraddick on 93.1)

ATT does offer international 800 numbers in a foreign country to call into the US. K-Love could use one of these,
It'd probably be easier for Nueva Vida to have a WhatsApp number like most Latin American radio stations.
KLJZ has added classic hits 4-6pm weekdays… think 80s 90s classic hits, outside the usual hot AC music at other times
KCYK has shifted music a bit… gone more towards 80s 90s real country but not quite while still playing some older stuff
the community response has been very awesome, i hear.

It's too bad they don't stream. Guess, I'll have to wait till the next time I'm out that way to listen.
